Scores time-out to fulfil remedy as therapy goal (7)
I believe the answer is:
closure
'scores time-out' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'fulfil remedy as therapy goal' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'remedy' could be 'ure' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'ure' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for closure that I've seen before include "End or act of shutting" , "end of debate" , "Lose cur (anag.)" , "sense of satisfaction" , "Co-rules (anag.)" .)
